I hope everyone had a great week!
This week was super crazy for us. We received transfer calls this week and usually, we just get them on Saturday, but while we were in Riga for Zone Conference Masa Luisa and I were told what was going to happen so we could prepare and it made for a crazy week but one of the best! So I will be going back to Riga! It was such a big surprise because I've only been in Liepaja for one transfer, but Masa Luisa and Teilore are heading home and we only get one new masa so we'll have three Latvian sisters in the whole country so Masa Bosvela, the new sister, and I will all be together in Riga and elders will be taking over Liepaja! So this week we have been saying bye to members and de-sister-fying our apartment for the elders haha.
But Thursday we finally made it back to Liepaja and met with the Birkenfeldi! I love them so much! They are always so fun and have the cutest kids. Then we had English class and we talked about the theatre and we created plays and performed them and it was the funnest thing to watch haha.
Friday we visited Zenija! Oh, how I have learned to love her. She loves to teach us to knit and it's still not my talent haha but grateful for her patience haha. She's also the funniest lady. We were just sitting and talking and she just randomly gets up and goes into her bedroom and grabs a comb and comes up behind Masa Luisa and just starts brushing her hair and Masa Luisa has curly hair so it went puffy and it was just the funniest thing to watch. We also met with the Blumi and Beldavi. I love visiting them!
Sunday! I love Sundays. For primary one of our members had us sing all the primary songs in Latvian and record them to make an album to use in primary and it was the funniest thing. But hey our district has an album now and we're going to be famous, even though it took many many many different trys for each song haha. We also visited Velta and she's the best. One of the smartest and sassiest people I've ever met haha.
And then yesterday we did service for Zenija at her farm and it was the most beautiful place ever! It was like heaven being there! She fed us biezpiens for breakfast and she knew we didn't really like it but she still forced us to eat a whole plate full haha she's the best.
I am so so grateful for my time in Liepaja. Even though it was short I learned so much here. I love these members so much and I'm so grateful I got to spend time with them and learn from them. The biggest two things I learned is love and trust. The members here know how to love and stay strong with each other. I learned about Christ's love from them and just how to love easily. And then trust God! He knows best! I had my doubts and fears about coming to a new city after being in the same city and branch for so long but Liepaja has truly changed me. I'm better because I got the chance to be with these people. This just taught me that God knows what He's doing. Trust Him from the beginning. Don't fear or doubt! He is guiding us everyday! Learn to trust Him and everything will be easier because then you can know God, the most powerful being, our Creator, is leading us down the path we need to take with experiences we need to have to become better. So trust and act now because we only have now to act. I'm so grateful for Him!
I love you all! Have the best week! And Happy March!
Love,
Masa Brunere
